There's only 1 spider in this imagine, he's curled up. Although there isn't too much to go off on this photo, you can see the tibial spurs on legs 1. Other angles would be super useful in the future too :). This guy is most likely from the genus Arbanitis, but it's too hard to tell without more photos

@NateKingsford Thanks for the info, unfortunately, he was in a corner on the ceiling and I didn't want to annoy him to get him to move, I am not comfortable with the possibility of a large hairy black spider dropping down on me. :-) In the future, I will try to remember to get some other angles if possible.
